Tweaking this patch a bit to fit the new ABI allowed me to instantiate a KVM guest without the in-kernel irqchip (tested on a mustang). So, FWIW, this is report of a successful test. Is there a refreshed version of this patch someone can point me to, which I should test instead? Thanks, drew

I've sent a respin that hopefully is slightly more future proof than this RFC :) If your tests passed with this patch, please extend them to also cover SMP support, as that was broken with this RFC.

Indeed. I retested with the old version and now see that secondaries were not booting, but they are with the new version. Thanks, drew

When running with KVM enabled, you can choose between emulating the gic in kernel or user space. If the kernel supports in-kernel virtualization of the interrupt controller, it will default to that. If not, if will default to user space emulation. Unfortunately when running in user mode gic emulation, we miss out on timer events which are only available from kernel space. This patch leverages the new kernel/user space pending line synchronization for those timer events.
